DHCP relay scenario 1 (IPv4)
In this scenario, DHCP relay on the server enables two hosts to obtain their IP addresses from a DHCP server on a different subnet. The physical topology of the network looks like this:
Procedure
-
DHCP relay is enabled by default. If it was previously disabled, enable it.
switch# config switch(config)# dhcp-relay
-
Define an IPv4 helper address on interfaces
1/1/1
and1/1/2
.switch(config)# interface 1/1/1 switch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.11/24 switch(config-if)# ip helper-address 192.168.1.1 switch(config-if)# interface 1/1/2 switch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.12/24 switch(config-if)# ip helper-address 192.168.1.1 switch(config-if)# quit
-
Verify DHCP relay configuration.
